since you seem to like them, can i bring the rats from my building over to your place?
inpector? spell check is your friend, makes you look more credible.
Ahhhhh, the M14a line... Must be one of my all-time EV Grieve favorites.
Oooh shocker. Let's face it we are not exactly a paragon of cleanliness down here. TSP is a filthy place, take away the rats and you still have lots of filth and vermin and that includes some of the human regulars.
If rats can climb trees, then what the devil do we need squirrels for?
I was just about to ask about this. I live on 2nd Street btw 1st and 2nd Aves and there is one part of the sidewalk that is COVERED with rats when the garbage is on the street. Every person that walks by screams. If you stand and watch for a minute you'll see at least ten scurrying around and rusting around in the bags. Are landlords responsible for this if it's in front of their building?
There are rats everywhere. I hope not so many where I travel next.
